In 2026, Lumière will celebrate its 50th anniversary. Since the beginning, the theme of 'sustainability' has played a role in operational decision-making. To make Lumière even more future-proof, it was decided in 2023 to further embed this theme within the organization. To achieve this, it is important to document our policy, which contributes to the further sustainability of our organization, in our sustainability policy (Dutch).
